Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' indicates the low-power variant distinct from standard ProASIC3 devices. Confirm the package type matches the 144-pin LBGA specification. Ensure the speed grade corresponds to the 272 MHz requirement. Check for RoHS compliance status as manufacturing updates may affect environmental certifications. Validate the supplier's authorization to prevent counterfeit components.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when low power consumption is critical compared to the standard ProASIC3 series. The 144-pin LBGA package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Consider the 272 MHz performance limit for timing-critical paths. Evaluate the -40°C to 85°C operating range against environmental conditions. Compare gate density requirements to ensure 250,000 system gates are sufficient.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the ProASIC3L family, which emphasizes reduced power consumption while maintaining high performance. It serves as a bridge between complex CPLDs and larger FPGAs. The flash-based architecture allows for instant power-up functionality without external configuration memory. This family is widely used in applications demanding reprogrammability and robustness.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other ProASIC3L devices with similar I/O counts and gate densities. Verify pin compatibility if substituting with different package options within the same family. Cross-reference with ProASIC3 standard variants if power constraints are relaxed. Ensure software tools support the specific speed grade and package type.
